Mr. Bonsai from IG just released some quartz inserts for the carta and peak along with ruby and sic terp pearls. Just ordered them, the quartz inserts look a lot thicker than the stock inserts. Interested in seeing how the pearls work with such a small surface area. Will report back. https://mrbonsai.net/ Is the link

Definitely curious to hear your thoughts. Those new buckets look official. Thick walls but looks fairly thin on the bottom. Curious how quickly you get it as well

Just got my black magna (UK) and the thing looks amazing! There is only one worry I have...

How do you properly clean the airpath? Seems to have some silicone on it, the only way of properly cleaning I can think is with a pipe cleaner and iso, but iso is not really a good friend of silicone...

Thank you!
I am most interested in this. I have two Peaks and a Carta, and I much prefer the Carta except for third-party availability of creativity. So this is a wonderful news to hear!

I can't imagine why anyone would want thicker walls on the Quartz bucket, the bucket is already smaller than many wax pens.

Yes! I just love my Carta. It works amazingly well. My loudest complaint is the size of the crucibles. I actually bought a tiny led flashlight to keep on the lanyard so I can see inside it. I generally prefer quartz in my dab rigs, but the Carta is the only device I prefer the Titanium over the Quartz. Friends are utterly shocked. lol :)
I've had trouble getting the Quartz to work as well as the Ti. Indeed, my very high rating would go down if I only judged it by the quartz crucibles. So I'm still tinkering and wanting to overcome this conundrum.

I’ve used ISO and Qtips/cotton swabs to clean the air path for last few months with no problems. Just don’t get ISO on your base. ISO will take the rubber paint off the base.

Yeah the quartz just wastes my good sauce, I don't really like the Ti either though. I was hoping to try one of the ceramic buckets but they aren't in the store.

In my internet Carta search travels, I came across a post stating that you can factory reset the Carta by reversing polarity on the batteries, turning it on then off and putting the batteries back in normally. Any info if this is a real thing? Thanks!

I also have a puffco peak and am used to ceramic buckets. I like the Ti but it seems on level One the temp is too low and on level Two the temp is too hot.

Fyi, for Peak owners, there is a hack where you push the button 10 times fast and it adds 50f across all temp settings. On high it tends to nuke the atomizers (more than normal). But it delivers a great taste. :)

It resets the device I believe? That was the first thing they told me to do when I had BT connection issues.

It does seem to work if only until it goes into its first sleep cycle than it will continue not connecting if it's faulty...from my experience =)

Thanks for the info! I gave it a try on the Carta I have here waiting to go back once I get my new one and no joy. It is still good info to have in case I need it in future. :)

So my first 2 hits with the carta magna and the quartz bucket at temp 2 seemed promising. After that everything I've tried have give me whispy hits I don't know why.

Max temp, Titanium or Quartz, tried both atomizers that came with my unit and the same: Most of the concentrate stays in the walls un-vapped...

Any one else with this problems? Also on top of that there is no way I can connect this to any of my phones, I've tried already 3 android ones without any luck. App doesn't detect the carta and I can see "CARTA" in bluetooth setting but I can't connect to it from there either...

If anyone had these kind of issues with a new unit let me know please guys, I guess it's time to contact them.

Make sure the bucket is seated well on the heater and not just touching one corner.
 
mc,
Just registered to post, been lurking here for a bit and been following this thread off and on since the Beta. I was torn on getting in on the Beta but ultimately decided not to since I'm a noob at dabbing and figured I would end up frustrated and probably wouldn't be able to give any good feedback. In the meantime, I picked up a SAI TAF with Poseidon bubbler and have really enjoyed it. I broke down and ordered a Carta from Puffitup last week during the sale and got it Friday. Compared to the SAI I'm really enjoying the Carta and now the SAI is on a shelf and relegated to emergency backup lol. It would probably get some use if I used either out in public or while away from home but I don't usually and if I do I use prefilled carts.

I really wanted a black Magna Carta, mainly for the color don't see myself using the dry herb atty and wasn't sure when they would ship and the price from Puffitup was just too good at 20% off plus the free titanium dab tool and dab mat which for a beginner was nice as I don't have much of this stuff. I'll probably get some type of wrap for the Carta if or when the white starts to look dirty/grungy.

Sorry I sort of ramble in posts like this. Also, while I'm rambling my unit is going strong so far, Android app works on my Galaxy S8+ just fine. Like I said I'm not a big dabber so far the app has my Carta at 30 dabs since Saturday, didn't have a chance to use it Friday when it arrived.

I've tried both the Titanium and Quartz cups and I don't notice much of a taste difference which is probably just lucky me I guess, been using the Quartz mostly as I never got one for my SAI so I was using the Ti bucket and triple Ti coil in my SAI. I am looking forward to trying the sic bucket, will order when it's available along with a rebuild kit and extra atomizer in case I'm no good at rebuilding an Atty, I'm not very good and dealing with small wires etc... I have short stubby fingers lol

Also, just a suggestion for someone else to start who maybe has some experience, is to start a thread with reviews of some of the glass options that are available, also have people post pictures and reviews of any custom glass they have had made along with pricing. I'd like to get a different glass piece but don't really want to pay more than the cost of an entire Carta on just a new glass piece so the pricing would help me know which glass artists are in my price range and to see what's out there.

Thanks

Well ot seems my atty was shipped today after i posted?? Maybe just coincidence but im super frustrated as im not sure how that is great.cs? It will be almost a month since i filed my warranty claim for my atty and that is too long for a new product that i maybe used a few times and dont think it worked to full potential. I didnt buy the beta and i bought from 3rd oarty but that is fully supported by focus..i guess my complaint is just that it will be a dang month for an attuly and i was trying to add a repair kit to my order but they were sold out two weeks ago when i ordered and got a crappy response back about buying from a retailer and so forth and saw.them back in stock the next day and never sent me an email or anything so now i finally get ahipping but nothing about the repair kit..just not this super shining service i guess iexpected.oh well.ill be vaping again one day.

I'm hoping for an answer from @FocusV about the Black Magna Carta kits for the rest of the FC buyers on this forum who haven't received a notification or anything there are a couple of us in here who sent in the engraving request before the due date.

Still seeing them pop up all the time on the IG story feed.

I'm hoping to hear something too.. How many have actually gotten notifications? I am considering maybe buying the black one just to make sure I get one. Not so interested in the white version.

Theyre supposed to have something like this on their website where you can see and buy different attachments from artists on their website and it will also be supported by focusv if you have an issues i believe. But who knows if/when that will happen

I spoke with one of their CS's reps today as I am also waiting for my engraved MC. All he could tell me was that 6 had been sent out and that 6 had not been sent out yet, including mine. He couldn't offer any reason as to why it has not happened yet...guess we just need to be a patient a bit longer...

They are at the Champs Trade Show this week, so I'm not expecting them to be as responsive on here as usual...

They have those bubble cap carbs they look very artistry I ordered one few days ago, but not sure if that is what you are referring too or hopefully a new accessory line by end of August which I think the podcast did say.

No they said they were going to make a different section altogether on the website like a “verified for carta section”
